Polyken 290FR Flame Retardant Carpet Tape
Polyken 290FR Flame Retardant Carpet Tape is an aerospace-grade sealing tape designed for fire containment and mechanical durability in aircraft cargo compartments.
Polyken 290FR Flame Retardant Carpet Tape is purpose-built for sealing seams and penetrations in aircraft cargo pits where flame resistance is mandatory. It is widely specified in commercial aviation environments where regulatory compliance and structural integrity are critical.
The tape uses a polyethylene-coated fiberglass cloth backing that delivers high tensile strength while reducing fiber irritation during installation. A flame-retardant synthetic rubber adhesive provides immediate bonding to metal, plastic liners, and composite cargo panels.
With a total thickness of 13 mils, Polyken 290FR offers increased durability compared to standard carpet and duct tapes. Its linerless, self-wound construction allows faster application in confined cargo compartments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Polyken 290FR primarily used for?
It is used for sealing seams, covering rivets or pins, and protecting cargo compartment liners in aircraft where flame resistance is required.
